Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2009

Every year at this time I look forward to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Its an annual parade presented by Macy's. The three-hour event is held in New York City starting at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to the well-known balloons and floats, the parade also features live music and other performances. Btoh ollege and high school marching bands from across the country, such as James Madison University's Marching Royal Dukes, participate in the parade, and the television broadcasts feature performances by famous singers as well as bands. The Radio City Rockettes are a classic performance too.
Pickerington High School Central leading the parade in 2001. Macy's Parade: The PHS Marching Tiger Band from Ohio, has marched in the parade four times, and was selected to lead the parade in 2001

On the NBC telecast from in front of the flagship Macy's store on Broadway and 34th Sreet, the marching bands perform live music but most of the other live acts use pre-recorded music with the performers lip-syncing their singing. This is why I love the Macys Thanksgiving day parade
